The almighty President Gee once said that different times call for different leaders--he said it's a matter of matching the right leader to the right situation.
Here in the Ohio State Greek Community, a new storm is brewing. Opportunity has never been higher and neither has the motivation to make improvement in the Sorority & Fraternity Community. Unfortunately, it is not the responsibilities of leaders to single-handedly do ALL the work themselves either. Leaders have a responsibility to empower others and make change through motivation!
As individuals with influence on chapter leaders, we have an amazing opportunity to correct the wrongs and ensure that we leave a Greek Community here at Ohio State that is truly working toward actual values congruence.
We have the opportunity to eliminate stereotypes, build men and women of character, commit ourselves to service, and live the ritual every day. The dilemma does not rest in our ability, but rather, our actions. As community leaders it's one thing to come up with grand plans, but it's another to bring those plans to fruition.
Here at The Ohio State University, we have the opportunity to lead the way in redefining the fraternal movement. We have capable leadership and the resources to make change happen--we must make others aware that change is necessary too. The timing is perfect.
I agree! Nothing will ever last if the leaders that currently lead the community only change. We need to get everyone to see that this is necessary for our existence and to become better brothers/sisters. I think your so right that NOW is the PRIME time for change; we have so much support from our advisors and for each other:)
ReplyDeleteWhen I read the first paragraph it was funny because I literally just took a final for the class and in it was describing leaders/hip and how you MUSH have the leader fit the situation or the situation fit the leader in order to be the most effictive and efficient. I agree with you and Julie in saying that now is the perfect time because we have such a great group of strong individuals that together we form a "leadership circle"..per se
